I had to kill some time yesterday while I was waiting for a friend and checked out the new jewellery and hair accessory collection by Kurt Geiger. And it's not bad at all. They've got some really nice pieces ranging from as little as £8 for a hair elastic up to £80 for a chunky necklace.

Nothing is too girly and much to my delight they have a huge selection of bracelets.

On my shopping list today this lovely XXL cape by Sweaty Betty. It's perfect for beating off autumn chills and those moments when you can't decide weather to still wear your summer jacket or already dig out the winter coat.

Spain never disappoints when it comes to providing us with fashion forward looks and I just came across another brand on the rise – Uterqüe.

Unpronouncable but therefore affordable.

Uterqüe , Zara's more sophisticated older sister is specialised in accessories in high quality materials, fine fabrics and leathers, largely from Italy. Products are produced as a limited series. Sounds promising.

OMG - I'm standing in Izmaylova's showroom. Excited. Hit by an adrenalin rush triggered by Swarovski crystals, fine leather and A LOT of feathers. My photographer is waiting, I'm not a sample size and I just found out most dresses are between size 6 and 8.

Hallelujah.

Calm down I tell myself, ignore the 50 degrees in the studio, breathe in and pray one of them will fit.

Yessssssss, I manage to get in 3 of my favourite 40 looks.

The fabric feels amazing. The crystals sit powerful like a warrior shield on my shoulders while the silk feels very gentle and feminine. Not sure if I want to dance or fight. For now I just want to look beautiful.

I can't get enough of those feathers.

The little black dress as Izmaylova interprets it for the night...

and as a sophisticated day dress

I also had a chance to sneak a peak at the SS12 collection with flowy dresses like this.

And the feathers have a come back in white

I absolutely love these dresses. They will wake up your inner Amazon to make you win - hearts, style trophies and admiring looks.

We were talking about Notting Hill and its surreal attractiveness. Living, shopping and eating out in this London Neighbourhood makes you forget that there is another world out there, without beautiful people, endless shopping opportunities and that isn’t the perfect environment to parade around in your chic look 24/7.

But, hey, do we really want to know? Let's embrace the bubble and do what we all do best - let's go shopping

My latest crush - Wolf & Badger. If you want to invest into a future fashion hottie, long before everyone else knows who they are and where to get them from, don’t miss this place. It has serious style leader alert.

Almost everything has the want stamp on it but two areas got my special attention – men's and jewellery.
